This paper presents the numerical investigation of cold-rolled channel columns made of 5052 aluminium alloy subjected to member buckling. A detailed Finite Element (FE) model using software ABAQUS v 6.14 was developed to simulate an experimental program recently performed at the University of Sydney. In the FE simulations, actual measured properties and geometric imperfections were incorporated into the FE models. The FE results are compared and validated against the experimental results. These accurate and reliable FE models will be used for the future parametric study to extend the data range for the development of the design guidelines for the cold-rolled aluminium alloy channel columns subjected to member buckling.
